Kukirin - G4

i paid 1150 canadian for a g4, if you can get that together, it's a fun ride, I really like it. I went from a Niu kqi3 pro to the G4, and It is awesome.

Save a few 100 and get the g4, but jonestly i dont know, those other scooters might be awesome.

I got a G4 a few weeks ago, it's a good time, and a nice smooth ride.

Too much scooter for someone who's never ridden one before. The G4 in particular is a *big* beast and likely to give you trouble just handling it, let alone at speed. Scooters give you a false sense of security because they *look* so simple and easy to ride, but they're actually quite treacherous if you have no experience; they're significantly more likely to surprise you with unexpected behaviour than bicycles, for instance. Get something slow-ish like a Ninebot G2 or an old G30, ride it for a few hundred km, then upgrade to something fast.

We tend to default on that because lots of people behave that way - see: the dudebro you've been replying to. If that's not your case we're glad, it shows you have a brain on your head, but all you have to do is say it. And the G4 is still too big as a starter, even if you ride it slowly.

Thats fair. gotrax is kinda the exception to my rant because at least they exist as a real company and you can actually get parts without praying to the amazon seller gods. i roast the 199 no name scooters because when the battery starts acting weird or a hinge gets sloppy, youre basically done. i havent ridden the gx1 but its good to hear support came through for you. thats honestly half the battle. my g4 has been solid for what it is, and even when little stuff loosened up i could actually find replacements instead of doing the zip tie engineering degree.

Kukirin G2 is OK but G4 is better. G4 got 2000W motor and cost $680. Cheaper alternative is Kukirin G2 Max. G2 Max got 1000W motor and cost $630.

Where did you see it for $1000. My friend ordered his for $680 and he is driving it daily. Kukirin G4 is cheaper than Kukirin G2 Master. Kukirin G4 $640 + around $40 shipping. I bought Kukirin G2 Max from this seller, owned it 1 year and still driving it well. One of the best service support too.

This. I only got my g4 because it's cheap make I would go is the ausum d8 or whatever its called. Anything over a grand should be invested in a bike. Or a car...

I tried both and the g4 feels way more comfortable / stable and bigger, the G2 master feels much more sportive The suspensions are much better on the g4, the G2 master climbs hills a bit better

I like that the g4 has 11 inch tires. I got mine up to about 36mph pretty decently fast on flat road full battery.

G4 is a little faster, but it has a single motor, meaning slower acceleration, worse hill climbing. Top speed is higher yes, but it will take a while to get there. Also, the design of the G4 is very hit or miss, some people love it, most hate it. I personally went with G2 master and I found 60kmh is plenty fast enough to eat shit if you fall, so I have no regrets, the acceleration is great, which is the most important thing for me. I usually ride around 35-45 kmh.

Nah. I tried out my friend's G4 and I think it pretty shit. Even he hates it and regrets buying it. It's the same shit as the G2 but a bit more powerful shit. You're probably better off with a G2 Master. Almost the same speed but the G2 Master has better acceleration so it feels faster compared to the G4 which feels kinda sluggish. It's also an ugly brick to be completely honest. The G2 Master has it's own problems but it's much better in my opinion.

Kukurin seems to be one of the most popular brands out there with a proven track record in good quality entry level scooters (entry level to hyper scooters, not scooters in general) according to posts I've seen here. For the same price as the Tiger Max, you can get a faster scooter with a higher range (G4), but the only thing is that it's single motor so even though it has a bigger battery and higher amp hours, the acceleration and hill climbing ability would be lower than the TM. Here's a direct comparison of some of the features of each one: G4 vs. TM: 43mph/34mph, 43 mile range/34 mile range, 11" tubeless tires/10" basic tires, 38 N.m/40-45 N.m (each motor), 20° max slope/20-30° max slope, 81.5 lbs/61 lbs, IP54/IPX6, unknown controllers/Sinewave controllers, generic battery cells/DMEGC cells, no deck lights/customizable deck lights, 265 max load/265 max load. I'm my opinion they are both great scooters, but I'd have to go with the Tiger Max, and not just because I own the Tiger King lol (although I use that as a reference point on the quality of their scooters). I personally believe Eahora is the most underrated scooter company out there. Often times one brand will gain more momentum than another and become the "go to" that people hear about first and end up choosing because of their satisfactory ratings from people who just got their first product from them and have nothing to compare it with, but if you do enough research like I have, you can find who truly offers the better scooter. 20lbs lighter, Sinewave controllers, good quality battery, dual motors and being completely waterproof are all things that, to me, make the Tiger Max a better choice, even though you're sacrificing a little bit of speed and range. But really it all depends on what you're looking for and your circumstances. If you live in a very dry place with minimal hills, don't care too much about the decreased acceleration or weight and prefer a higher top speed, then an option from Kukurin may be preferred. Just because I think the Tiger Max is better overall doesn't mean someone won't think the G4 is better. So yea, in the end I'd say go with the one that best suits your needs.
